Translating recipes - 6 Minute English

Rob and Sam talk about the recipe translators, who help to make the recipes of famous chefs accessible across barriers of language, culture and cuisine - and they teach you some useful vocabulary along the way.
This week's question:
It may be true that British cooking is better than it used to be, but there’s still some pretty bad food out there. So, according to a 2019 YouGov survey, which UK food was voted the worst?
a) steak and kidney pies
b) scotch eggs
c) haggis
Listen to the programme to find out the answer.
Vocabulary:
ingredient - item of food that is combined with other food to prepare a particular dish
gastronomy - the art and knowledge involved in preparing and eating good food
specialise - focus on studying and learning about one specific subject or skill
to cut a long story short - (Br Eng) used when you are explaining what happened in a few words, without giving all the details
replicate - make or do something again in exactly the same way
mimic - copy the way in which something is done, sometimes in a funny way

thanks BBC for a useful lesson My summary while listening Today’s topic is about the translation of recipes. Britain is famous for its bad food but times are changing when Brits pick up recipes from other countries. According to Rosa Llopis, a recipe translator, recipe translation is closely connected to gastronomy. Rosa want to specialize some traditional recipes and translate them into English as she hopes to produce a cook book that Brits could understand and buy it. Rosa’s cookbook allows people to replicate typical dishes from Spain, her homeland. Also, she would choose alternative ingredients to replace Spanish ones that can’t be found in Britain. This helps Brits to mimic the taste or the flavors of certain Spanish dishes.

[@bbclearningenglish]

What a fantastic summary! Well done Irene! 👏
